    If \[\left| f(x) \right|+\sqrt{1+\cos 2\pi x}={{\tan }^{2}}\left( \frac{\pi x}{9} \right)f(x),\] then \[f(3)\] is equal to

    A) \[\frac{1}{\sqrt{2}}\]

    B) \[\frac{1}{2\sqrt{2}}\]

    C) \[\frac{-\,1}{\sqrt{2}}\]  

    D) \[-\frac{1}{2\sqrt{2}}\]

    Correct Answer: A

    Solution :

    We have,
    \[\left| f(x) \right|+\sqrt{1+\cos 2\pi x}={{\tan }^{2}}\left( \frac{\pi x}{9} \right)f(x)\]
    At \[x=3\]
    \[\left| f(3) \right|+\sqrt{1+\cos 6\pi }={{\tan }^{2}}\left( \frac{\pi }{3} \right)f(3)\]
    \[\left| f(3) \right|+\sqrt{2}=3f(3)\]
    If \[f(3)\ge 0\]\[\Rightarrow \]\[f(3)=\frac{1}{\sqrt{2}}\]
    If \[f(3)<0\]\[\Rightarrow \]\[f(3)=\frac{\sqrt{2}}{4}\]not possible.
    Hence, \[f(3)=\frac{1}{\sqrt{2}}\]
